STARS Test Automation System
The central feature of EMTS is a high-speed, lowinertia, liquid-cooled dynamometer engineered specifically for E-motors. Available in single-ended and
double-ended configurations, this proven dynamometer has a very stiff shaft, provides 200% overload,
and maintains full torque at zero speed.
The E-motor housing is custom designed to duplicate
in-vehicle geometry. E-motor lubrication and forced
cooling/heating are integral features of the housing.
Temperature Extremes
for Endurance Testing
Internally and externally sealed, the E-motor housing
supports hot and cold temperature cycles from -40℃
to +120℃ for accelerated life cycle (endurance) testing. Condensate and corrosion mitigation reduce
maintenance. The optional Fluid Conditioning Units
are capable of handling multiple fluids (ethylene
glycol and ATF) depending on customer requirements.
Advanced Simulation & Measurement
EMTS incorporates HORIBA’ s Virtual Battery Solution, allowing E-motors to be tested with accurate
simulation of in-vehicle battery performance. A fully
integrated power analyzer precisely measures electric motor efficiency and torque-speed characteristics. Stored data can be used to generate efficiency maps of the E-motor specimen.

Featuring Advanced Engine Simulation
Virtual Engine
Shorten the Product Launch Cycle
● Use production-intent engine performance
characteristics early in the development cycle
● Eliminate invalid tests due to incorrect
engine calibration
● Easily connect and test any type of transmission
as if it were installed in a real vehicle
・FWD and RWD
・ Right-hand and left-hand output shafts
・ HEV, DCT, CVT, manual, and automatic
● Improve test repeatability with predictable,
controlled “engine” performance
Increase Test Cell Efficiency
ir tual ehicle Testin
● Quickly set up single cylinder to V16 “engines” of
different fuel types and displacements to get
different torque signatures
Virtual Engine uses advanced software control and a specialized AC
dynamometer to accurately simulate IC engine performance.
● Test transmissions of varying sizes
(with inertia values up to 0.5 kgm2)
Reduce Capital and Operational Costs
● Eliminate frustration and costs associated
with fueled engines :
・No fuel handling
・No exhaust extraction
・No engine calibration
・No bolt-up headaches
● Eliminate costly and labor-intensive prototype
engines prior to test start up
● No engine cooling requirement
● No fuel, oil, filters or labor for engine maintenance
Expect Excellent Correlation to ICEs
Virtual Engine accurately replicates the torque signature
of an internal combustion engine (ICE) using real-time
closed loop feedback with adaptive control algorithms.
The closed-loop adaptive controls compensate for :
● Mismatch between real engine inertia and
input dynamometer inertia
● Mechanical dynamics due to specimen
and attachment properties
● Electro-mechanical conversion of energy at
different torque levels and speed

Advanced, torque-control based, real time model of ICE. Provides 48 engine orders, closed
loop torque correction in amplitude and frequency, and correction for friction loss. Includes
simulation of engine torque management schemes for driving and operating events. Generates
CAN bus messages and/or special pulse train signals to satisfy any power train control unit.

Ultra-Low Inertia AC Dynamometer
Mechanical Support
HORIBA’ s TP-series high performance AC dynamometers produce
high torque and acceleration rates of 50000 rpm/sec for gasoline
and 20000 rpm/sec for diesel. It also features extremely small
motor diameters, allowing a production half shaft connection for
FWD transmissions.
HORIBA’ s Virtual Engine System offers superior mechanical support
components engineered to withstand the rigorous requirements of
transmission development and durability testing. The dynamometer
headstand offers superb flexibility, quickly accommodating different
transmissions at mounting angles that match in-vehicle installations.
